What the study found

Who was studied 1,164,961 European ancestry individuals, 84,359 African American individuals, 33,689 South Asian ancestry individuals, 27,388 Hispanic individuals, 2,695 Native American ancestry individuals, 4,792 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.124 mmHg lower (95% confidence interval 0.083-0.165); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.3 — in an intron of PDE8A.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Systolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Systolic blood pressure.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Systolic blood pressure compared to the general population.

Questions about rs8032301

What is rs8032301?

rs8032301 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PDE8A gene. Published research associates it with systolic blood pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8032301 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Pressure. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs8032301 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs8032301 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:33230300. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
